Looking at Shanghai Circus World from the outside, you wouldn’t necessarily think that it contained a circus. It looks more like a giant golf ball than a traditional circus, but appearances can be deceiving. Covering a massive 2,2500 square kilometers, it has long held the accolade of China's number one circus.
So what’s the story behind this strange, glittering dome of fun? The complex is situated on Gonghe Xin Lu Road, and integrates traditional circus acts, acrobatics, magic, dancing and music into popular extravaganza performances.
Shanghai Circus World is internationally-renowned. The world famous Shanghai Acrobatic Troupe performs here regularly, attracting audiences from across the globe. Since it first opened to public in 1999, Shanghai Circus World has been the setting for more than 800 performances. It has been the location for many important art and culture events like the closing ceremony of the 1999 Shanghai Tourism Festival.
The complex is made up of several parts. The Acrobatics Field takes up most of the space, flanked by the Animal House, Cultural and Commercial City and rehearsal buildings.
No circus would be complete without animals, and Shanghai Circus World doesn’t disappoint. The animal house is a 1,540 square kilometer building housing elephants, chimps, horse, giant pandas and big cats. Like the Acrobatics Field, this giant menagerie boasts modern facilities.
The Cultural and Commercial City is used for acrobatic and circus exhibitions and international exchanges, securing the Circus’s position as a worldwide centre for acrobatics, music and dance.
